The Father of Monsters has Risen

Chapter Forty One - Savior

When I finally reopened my eyes, I saw myself neither in the underworld nor on the battlefield. It was as if I was in the veil between the living and the dead. I sat up, as though I was in my normal body. But I wasn't, it was as if I floated out of myself. I saw myself separate from my body, I was now a spirit walking between the land of the dead and the one of the living.

I saw Will come and sit by my side most of the day, there was still a war but it was more than clear he was in no position to heal. I needed- no I have to get better. I know for one the war isn't over yet, we have one last wave, Typhon is still on an attack,

I floated around the grim room, it seemed Chiron had made his way here, talking to the gods and teachers of the school.

Hades looked over at me, it seemed as though he was actually concerned for me. "My son," he spoke softly. I know that people say he's mean but he's really just a smol bean, he wears flower crowns Persephone gives him, waits to eat until Persphone comes home, he freaking grows plants in a relm with no sun.

Zeus looked at his brother and rested a hand on his shoulder, "It was an admirable sacrifice for the son of Zeus." Hades stayed silent, trembling, "You cannot break the rules of order, not even for your own son."

Hades smacked Zeus hand off his shoulder and turned around to face him. I guess he really wasn't 100% a smol bean as he looked like a furious dragon ready to strample you. "So... You can turn your dying son into a god? Allow your daughter to live by sparing her life? You even let yourself be coerced by the same woman. Don't you dare tell me I can't save the life of my only son."

I crossed my arms with a proud look, "Hell yeah, you tell them old man." I laughed, not like anyone heard me.

"We need a plan to defeat him," Chiron said.

"I will have all the teachers sending a multitude of stunning spells towards this Typhon monster, while the students fight off the leftover giants and monsters," Dumbledore said.

"We gods will allow you, mortals, to stun him but it's no guarantee your magic will work on them. Angelos, " Hera said with anger evident in her voice, "You and the other Minors are to fight off the giants considering mortals and demigods can't do it by themselves."

Angelos rolled her eyes. "Yes my marvelous queen," she said sarcastically.

Hera looked pleased at her response ignoring the tone added, but the other gods laughed at her. Angelos left the room, followed by the so-called minor gods. They mumbled incoherent curses under thier breath to the godess of marriage

Moments later there was a loud voice. "Olympians," Zeus said gaining their attention. "As you know, our most formidable foe is approaching, there is no backing down. This time, we'll turn him to rubble! Break him into pieces! OLYPIANS, THIS IS RETROBUTION FOR OUR FALLEN ALLIES!" They roared grabbing their spears and weapons, raising them in the air, "TO WAR!"

"TO WAR!!!"

They all ran out of the great hall as humans, once outside they raised as high as 14 feet high. Although it was barely noticeable you could see Hades sneaking into the infirmary tent. I walked in after him, he leaned over my nearly catatonic body. Will holding my hand in his two hands. I could almost feel the heat of his body. I needed to come back, please get me back.

Will looked up at Hades, his eyes were sunken and puffy. He looked terrible, not our usual you just woke out of bed terrible but, terrible terrible. "You shouldn't be here Hades, he's dying. He can't be saved, using that much energy... He killed nearly all the monsters in a five-mile radius between him."
